Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil on Monday admitted the allegations made by FM Gebran Bassil on the obstruction of the Deir Ammar power plant construction, saying that said project implied corruption and embezzlement.

Lebanon’s Energy Minister Cesar Abi Khalil on Thursday said a tender had closed on a first round of offshore energy blocks, and told local media that two consortiums had submitted bids.
It will take years for revenue from any of the blocks to start flowing to the country, he said in a televised news conference.
